Question

What is the mass percent of bromine in C₂H₃BrF₂? (C=12, H=1, Br=80, F=19) (Duplicate pattern, but we'll provide a variant)
Options
A 28.9%
B 50.6%
C 55.2%
Correct Answer
D 62.1%
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Molar mass = (2×12)+(3×1)+80+(2×19)=24+3+80+38=145 g/mol. %Br = (80/145)×100 = 55.17% ≈ 55.2%.

Hint

Calculate total molar mass and mass of bromine.
